I'm sorry you've been sick. I'd noticed you hadn't been around and was preparing to hail you. Are you starting to feel better?
It's hard to convey tone, but it was actually sort of a sweet exchange. He saw my remark about the way he phrased "I'd never put it that way." as exactly what it was. My preciseness in language. He was somewhat amused, I think, but gravely considered the matter and answered me in a way that made logical sense. Of course, it doesn't help that my husband and I have a running joke (from The Bickersons) "I'd never say that, Blanche." Which in context meant "I'd never *say* that, Blanche." :)
Based on something he said later, I'd say he has a new strategy to point things out in real time rather than praising me all at once. I don't know if he'll remember that. He often doesn't remember things from session to session. But if he does, I'd prefer that.
